CRITIC REVIEWS
Like Ride The Lightning, this is a really special album for me. I heard this album so many times yet I never really get tired of it, it has my favorite Muse songs on it like ''Map Of The Problematique'' and ''Glorious'' (even though that's a bonus track), and it's just really enjoyable overall.
I also saw Muse live in 2019 and it was spectacular, they played 5 songs from this album including ''Knights Of Cydonia'' as the final song as they do with every show. It's an experience I won't ever ... read more
(Band Binge: Muse Part Four of Six)
Yep, it's their best album. It's not my favorite album, but it's their best.
I think Muse play it best when they are shooting for the stars. Hell, the band is known for, at times creating weird, oddball experiments, combining more poppy or unexpected Influences in amoungst the more heavy and distorted elements of their sound, and other times completely annihalating your ears with huge riffs or subtle acoustics. And this album? It's no exception.

This is an album that has impacted me and my tastes in a way few albums ever will. It was my favorite record of all time for two years, and it still means the world to me, but I’m in a place right now where it doesn’t do as much for me. I hope it’s just a spell, but I’m going to refrain from putting a score on this album because it’s tough to rate something that is this important to me.

A 10/10 album... for the first four tracks, which are each stellar in their own way. Then, the album drifts into mediocrity for the middle of its tracklist before coming back again with City of Delusion to the end. Knights of Cydonia remains their most stellar closing track to this day. A good album overall.
Best Tracks: Take A Bow, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematique, City of Delusion, Hoodoo, Knights of Cydonia
Worst Tracks: Invincible, Exo-Politics
I'm really enjoying this band more than i thought i would, there are some great highlights on this one.
Fave Tracks: Starlight, Map of the Problematique, Knights of Cydonia
